Didn't Chadwick get sent off for something similar just before JS was appointed - Just ran at someone and took them out straight after KO?

Angle for the first red makes it difficult to see, but looks like the ref had a clear view, second was stonewall - as others have said Jervis would have been clean through with Goodwillie, not a LO player in sight, their man knew exactly what he was doing and taking one for the team. Good goals, lovely little flick for the first and I'm sure that's not the first time a goal has been scored from Purrington laying it back to someone this season (was Carey the other one?), lovely unselfish play.

two of the easiest red card decisions the ref will ever make. it did however make the match a non contest, yes orient were resilient but the result was never in doubt if Iam honest, was a strange match to watch, attack vs defence with argyle trying to find space in and around the 18yard box to create an opening. 5 points clear at the top of the league is outstanding at this stage of the season. Well done argyle.

Chadwick - not quite.

It was a 4-0 defeat at Vale. From kick off he took someone out in an off the ball incident, but, was not punished. Vale took the lead and from the restart a similar incident occurred and he was then dismissed. Sheridan was appointed the Monday after.

I think considering it was only 20 seconds in, the first should have been a yellow. The second was a red, Jervis was in. Good to see the two Cambridge boys scoring, Spencers was a clever finish.

Very easy for a lot of Refs to hide behind it being so early in the game, but an assault like that is a red card in the first, last or any other minute. The time was irrelevant and he didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anyway. The second is a blatant Red, clearly the last man.

I am hardly objective in my viewpoint but all too often, defenders take a chance and commit a bad foul early on in the hope the Ref will only show a Yellow at worse, so hats off to Breakspear for having the bottle to dish out a couple of Reds against the home team.

The first game I took my boys to - glad to say they weren't put off for life!

IIRC, he was punished retrospectively for the earlier elbow, and ended up with something like a 6 game suspension. Not often you see retrospective punishments dealt out in League 2!

I thought the first was more open to interpretation. The second was stonewall

I agree. Difficult to see contact on Purrington but with Jakes pace and scoring ability that was a goal so he had to go

 

[Knibbsworth]

The Chadwick red card was always suspicious to me. He did it in the first half and then did it in the second - running straight to the first opponent he saw and elbowing them in the jaw. Conveniently with the ref and linesman looking at the ball with him in their direct line of vision. Hardly a sneaky one was it.

Around that time other lower league footballers were sent to prison for getting sent off in exchange for cash. Argyle had no manager at the time to punish him, so it was a convenient time for a player to get a red.

Like the Leyton Orient reds last (a two footed lunge straight from kick off with the ref looking right at him?) makes me wonder how often it might happen under the radar.

 

[Biggs]

Brilliant flick from DG for the first.

 

[Mark Pedlar]

The foul on Purrington was "studs up" and dangerous. He had to go. The one on Jervis was wild and was perhaps more dubious. I'd have been livid if given against us.

 

[HarlHM]

second sending off looks bit harsh http://www.skysports.com/efl/championsh ... 2-plymouth

The second is the most obvious red card decision you'll ever see.

The severity of the foul is completely irrelevant; Jervis was through on goal.

 

[xmastree]

Orient (caretaker) manager disputes the first sending off, but agrees with ref on the second one.

 

[ping g5]

Both reds... 1st was nowhere near the ball had he properly caught Purrington it could have broken his leg. 2nd was clean through so no choice.

I have to say that watching the highlights from the Orient game some of the passing was
delightful, it is easy to see why we are where are when you see this sort of passing, long may it remain
so, and some kudos for Mr Adams for assembling a side that can perform like this, and once again put us where we belong.
